Jim’s Amazing Bread: A Revolutionary Discovery

I have recently made an amazing discovery. Literally. It’s called Jim’s Amazing Bread. If you are like so many other people who are sensitive to the gluten in bread, you will want to read this article. This gentleman and his employees, bakers, and suppliers have come together to create bread that will blow you away. Especially if you’re used to bread causing gastrointestinal distress like I was. Because this bread doesn’t. In addition, it’s delicious and it literally lasts forever 🙂 Even though it has no preservatives in it. That’s right NO preservatives.

How is this possible?

If I’m being honest, I don’t understand the science behind it as well as I would like, but here goes. In a nutshell, the process that Jim and his miller use for the wheat leaves the wheat germ and the endosperm intact. They call this proprietary technology the "Saving Grains" technique. In my mind, they should have called it the “Save Your Gut” technique. Because that’s what it does since the technique doesn’t produce any gluten.

So how do they do that?

Instead of crushing the wheat germ completely and exposing the endosperm as most flour makers do, they gently crush the wheat, so the wheat germ isn’t exposed. In other words, they do not open up the cell. That is the secret! It is the reason that this bread does not cause the stomach problems that all other wheat or flour-based products do cause, because the process does not produce gluten. And it is the gluten. It gives so many people problems.

"The reason our bread needs no preservatives and has such a long shelf life is that the wheat germ and endosperm are not exposed to oxygen."
– Jim Chalfant, owner of Jim’s Amazing Bread

The Glyphosate Problem

Perhaps the most important reason that this bread does not make people sick is that the wheat has not been sprayed with glyphosate as almost all other non-organic wheat products have. When wheat berries are raised conventionally, meaning they are sprayed with glyphosate which is one of the most dangerous herbicides in the world, the consequences for mankind, especially for US citizens, are catastrophic. Here in the good old US of A, we consume 34% of the world’s glyphosate while representing only 4% of the world population. We are literally drowning in it. So finding a bread that uses wheat that has not been sprayed with glyphosate is always my mission and my recommendation.

Why is Glyphosate So Dangerous?

Glyphosate appears to be the reason that we are experiencing the following problems here in the US:

• We are the most obese country in the world with the most obese children. (glyphosate is an Obesogen)
• We are at the bottom of a long list when it comes to general wellness compared to 57 other nations. (Glyphosate is a carcinogen, an allergen, and causes autoimmune disease.)
• We are drowning in glyphosate, and it shows in terms of our poor health compared to the rest of the world and especially countries that prevent glyphosate from being used on their crops.

No wonder we are one of the unhealthiest wealthiest countries in the world... In fact, unlike all other wealthy developed nations that are living longer lives, US life expectancy is declining. We also have one of the highest infant mortality rates in the world despite having the best pre-and postnatal medical care. Why? Our food. And specifically the fact that so much of it is sprayed with glyphosate.

Understanding Wheat and Flour

Most people don’t understand where flour comes from. But generally speaking, it comes from wheat berries. You can actually eat the wheat berries. In fact, wheat berries are the entire edible part of wheat kernels. They include the germ, the bran, and the endosperm. They do not have an outer shell so you can eat the whole thing! Keeping them intact is what makes Jim’s amazing bread so different and so healthy.

The Secret of Jim's Amazing Bread

Most breadmakers grind the wheat kernel, stripping away all of the nutrients in the process. But in the case of Jim’s amazing bread, the whole wheat kernel is left intact, so that none of its nutrients are stripped away. This is very important because wheat berries are filled with dietary fiber, protein, and iron. That’s why Jim’s amazing bread has 6 grams of protein and is 8% iron.

The Best Part: The Taste!

But most important of all is that it tastes so good! I love that it lasts forever, but I really love how it tastes when you make a grilled cheese sandwich with it or when you have the raisin toast for breakfast or the Everything Bread toasted with some cream cheese on it. Yum!

This is truly an amazing bread! Jim has great stories to tell about people who have never been able to enjoy eating bread because of their gluten intolerance, who have been able to enjoy his bread. That includes me!

Thank you, Jim! Well done 🙂
